The movie stars the voices of Ben Burtt as WALL-E, a trash-collecting robot, and Elissa Knight as EVE, a robot sent to Earth to detect life. It also features voice actors Jeff Garlin, John Ratzenberger, Kathy Najimy, Sigourney Weaver, and Fred Willard. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a critically acclaimed film that won one Oscar Academy Award and was nominated for five others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The film follows the journey of WALL-E, a small trash-compacting robot that roams a heavily polluted Earth alone, 700 years after humanity abandoned it. The surface of the planet is littered with abandoned cities and mountains of overflowing trash (image below). Finding the Earth no longer habitable, humanity has escaped into space aboard a ship called the Axiom. WALL-E eventually meets EVE, a robot sent from the Axiom to detect life, the key to bringing humanity back to Earth. EVE discovers WALL-E has a lone plant, and the film follows WALL-E and EVE\u2019s journey to protect the plant and bring it to the humans on the Axiom.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can watch a trailer for the film <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5O9ikywnW6M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_2283\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2283\" class=\"wp-image-2283 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Earth2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Earth2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Earth2-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Earth2-1024x428.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Earth2-768x321.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Earth2-624x261.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2283\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scene from movie showing WALL-E standing in an abandoned city littered with debris and trash (from Pixar, 2023).<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>How is this related to climate?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While not intending to push any environmentalism message, according to director Andrew Stanton, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> leaves behind a legacy as one of the most important environmental films of the 21st century. The film critiques modern society by illustrating the effects of pollution on the world. Though it is science fiction, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">offers a glimpse into a disastrous future caused by unsustainable practices.\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlike much media covering environmental issues and climate change, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">leaves viewers with a message of hope. Although Earth had been trashed for 700 years during the events of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the protagonists were able to protect the plant that sprouted on the surface and start to restore the planet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">does not specifically portray climate change. Instead, it focuses on the aspects of land pollution. However, the movie still features several environmental issues and themes that intersect with anthropogenic climate change.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">addresses the dangers of consumerism and wealthy countries\u2019 obsession with nonessential material items. In the film, towers of old trash litter the globe (image above), all of which is waste produced and left behind by people. Overproduction and overconsumption are real-world problems that have consequences beyond land pollution. According to a 2015 study, household goods and services are responsible for over three-fifths of global carbon emissions. Consumers\u2019 demand for material goods and energy drives the need for fossil fuels and the release of fossil fuels, amplifying the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/greenhouse-effect\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">greenhouse effect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The film also highlights the role that large corporations play in causing environmental degradation. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, much of the pollution was created by the fictional company Buy-n-Large (BnL), the same corporation that owns the Axiom. Similarly, large companies are primarily responsible for the majority of carbon emissions contributing to the climate crisis. A 2017 report revealed that the world\u2019s one hundred highest emitting companies are responsible for over 70% of the world\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of these businesses are oil, gas, and coal companies that supply carbon-based power.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, <i style=\"font-size: 1rem\">WALL-E<\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> discusses the problems with human\u2019s obsession with space exploration as a solution to environmental problems, including climate change. In the film, it is revealed that BnL\u2019s Operation Cleanup, presumably their deployment of thousands of robots like WALL-E to consolidate the trash, has failed. As a result, the humans choose to live aboard the Axiom (image below), planning never to return to Earth &#8211; the planet they poisoned.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_2284\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2284\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Axiom8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Axiom8.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Axiom8-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Axiom8-1024x425.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Axiom8-768x319.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2024\/06\/Axiom8-624x259.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from the movie WALL-E of the Axiom ship traveling through the galaxy (from Pixar, 2023).<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like the fictional events of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WALL-E<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, space exploration and colonization have been proposed as a solution to the climate crisis.

However, this idea is less of a permanent solution and more of a temporary fix.
